  • Next Generation Science Standards:
    • LS2.C: Ecosystem Dynamics, Functioning, and Resilience

      When the environment changes in ways that affect a place’s physical characteristics, temperature, or availability of resources, some organisms survive and reproduce, others move to new locations, yet others move into the transformed environment, and some die.

    • LS4.D: Biodiversity and Humans

      Populations live in a variety of habitats, and change in those habitats affects the organisms living there.

    • LS2.C: Ecosystem Dynamics, Functioning, and Resilience

      When the environment changes in ways that affect a place’s physical characteristics, temperature, or availability of resources, some organisms survive and reproduce, others move to new locations, yet others move into the transformed environment, and some die. (secondary to 3-LS4-4)

    • LS4.C: Adaptation

      For any particular environment, some kinds of organisms survive well, some survive less well, and some cannot survive at all. (3-LS4-3)
